The property is located just (5) miles off I-75 so it's also a convenient mid-trip destination for those on a longer distance excursion. In case you plan on fishing the local hotspots on Lake Huron (15 minutes away) and are trailering a boat, there is plenty of area to park your rig during your stay. It's only a ten minute drive to Pinconning, where you can experience Michigan's "Cheese Town" and all it has to offer.

The Get-Away

2 sites · Lodging2 acres · Kalkaska, MI

I bought this property 30 years ago and built the cabin myself with a Hungarian friend nick-named Crash. This property was won in a poker game when it first came up for sale years ago. It is an old logging trail that goes 1 1/2 miles back in the woods - it feels like you are in the UP or Canada. Learn more about this land: The Get-A-Way had a very good summer - a few renters drove back spinning tires and tearing the drive up, but we are always motivated and just put $1200.00 into the road and dock. (See pictures.) We have a super cool site on a lake, with 2 canoes, a row boat and trolling motor, 2 batteries with a generator for your convenience. Key Word Your. You are only required to be happy and not rude. Normally there is even fire wood provided, life vests, and even instant coffee. Look at the pictures and see the propane tanks for the stoves. You will need to bring a few if you want to cook on the stoves. Please note: This is basically camping like you would in a tent but in a cabin. There is no running water - bring your own water or a water purifier. A clean port-a-potty is provided. Bring your own bedding - there is a futon and a set of bunk beds. There is an assortment of pots and pans. The cabin is not always cleaned between guests - please leave it in as good or better condition as when you arrived. Thanks!
